TO THE FARMERS OF NORTH
CAROLINA.

Without cooperation we can have no
organization, without organization we can
have no system, without system we can
do nothing. This is the bedrock idea
upon which rests our farmers clubs and
other organizations. 1t was this that
brought into being our splendid conven-
ton on the Goth Of January last, where
was organized our North Carolina Farm
ers' Association. It was the design and
purpose of that convention to make this
Association a permanent Institution. Not
permanent. but that it should grow and
strengthen and develop until it should en-
brace in its membership all the farmers Of
our State. Never before in all he history
of this country, have the farmers felt so
strongly the imperative necessity for Or
ganization. In the Northern and North
western States their organization is NOV
ing steadily onward; throughout the
South the movement is not only hopeful
and significant, but wonderful, and prom
Uses at no distant day to enlist the sym
pathy and active cooperation and sup
port of all the intelligent and progressive
farmers of the South.
Recently a convention of representative
farmers of Texas. Louisiana and Arkansas
was held at Waco, Texas, to institute and
prosecute such measures as would aid and
advance the movement.
On the 10Th of August a convention Of
the farmers of the ten cotton States is
called to meet in Atlanta, Ga, to consider
the causes Of the depression existing in
the great industry of agriculture in the
South, and if possible to find and apply the
remedy. At this convention, steps will
be taken, most probably, for the call and
organization of a National Farmers Asso-
citation. On the second Wednesday in
January next, our State Association will
meet in the city of Greensboro, \. c.
The gratifying and rapid progress made
in our State, in organizing farmers clubs
and the organization of oranges, inspires
the belief that the farmers of the Old
North State are being aroused as never
before, and that they will be fully pre-
pared to fall into line with their brother
farmers and with their best cndeavor and

We respectfully but earnestly suggest
that meetings of farmers be called and

We therefore ask that every club IN the

from the operation. The crOss-eXaminatiOn OF DR..
